You may not instantly recognize the name but if you grew up in the 80′s then Worlds of Wonder was probably a part of your childhood. WOW brought out several big hits in the toy world before bombing and fading off into obscurity. They had huge sales with some major favorites for several Christmases in a row before their fall which was just as fast as their rise. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

It has been about one hundred years since I have done a review I think,and I cant think of a better figure to come back to reviews with. As most DK readers know I actually got out of the MOTUC game last year, but a figure I had been championing since always was Lizard Man. I’m still getting the sub figures each month which I quickly sell, but after wanting Lizzy since I first saw the song of Celice back in the day I just had to keep him. It feels great to finally see the guy in plastic, but like most MOTUC figures there is a few problems with him along with the greatness. Let’s Take a look at Lizard Man. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Genesis back again with a new video for you! This time I am reviewing 2 classic systems! The TurboGrafx 16 and its Japanese counterpart the PC Engine! These systems were the under dog of the 16 bit era and deserve a lot more respect! So show some love and leave a comment about what you think of the TG16/PCE!

The third episode of DKTV is FINALLY live. This interview was actually filmed way back in January, but the state of things has kept it pushed back til now. This episode features a nice interview with Mecha Zone himself that was a blast to film. David is full of greatness, and he sheds some light on his projects that I find very interesting. We’re still kind of dealing with all kinds of craziness round these parts, but soon my friends things are going to even out, and DK will be back to form. For now enjoy Episode 3 of DKTV, and the Episode will be cut into into two parts for multiple viewings later in the week as well.

Solid information on Chap Mei toys is hard to track down. They have several toy lines that overlap with the sharing of molds and accessories making hard facts tough to find. There is also the overlap in themes with more than one line covering subjects like fantasy, military, and more. Chap Mei is also notorious for not putting the names of their action figures on the packaging. They do give their figures official names but tracking those names down isn’t always the easiest feat. That is why this piece is spread over two toy lines, Dino Power and Ninja: Hero of the Dark. Both lines shared molds and from some information I have found the figures share the same name between both lines. Either way, they fit in well together and are more great additions to the Chap Mei universe. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I have looked at the big Dino Riders T-Rex here on DK before but I finally got the last two pieces I needed to complete his armor (two red gun tips for the perch at the top) and if anything deserves a second look it’s the awesome Tyrannosaur. I’ve covered the basics in the original piece so expect this one to be full of pictures of my favorite toy ever, the Dino Riders T-Rex. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

It’s been a while since we’ve taken a look at any Computer Warriors and I still have the clock/syncro blaster sitting around to be covered so I thought it was time to take a look. Computer Warriors, for those who aren’t familiar, was a line brought out by Mattel in 1989. The figures were small with only 4 points of articulation but the real selling point was the transforming vehicles and playsets. This time around let’s check out the real working clock that transformed into a rolling assault vehicle called a syncro blaster. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

It’s well known that Star Wars was huge for Kenner. While other toy companies turned down the chance to make Star Wars toys Kenner jumped on it and it turned out to be a massive success. All good things must come to an end eventually and the original boom of Star Wars did just that for Kenner but what isn’t as widely known is that they wanted to keep trying. Kenner wanted to expand the universe before there was a proper Expanded Universe out there. Want to see some of the ideas that we almost got? Then click on through to check them out. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

We’re still staying on the Dino Riders topic but moving to a slightly different path this time as we break out the Colorforms. Remember Colorforms? Vinyl “stickers” that never stuck permanently and came with a backdrop to attach them. There are probably thousands of Colorforms from pretty much every property that was ever popular dating back into the 50′s when Popeye became the first licensed Colorforms. But enough with that history lesson, let’s dig in to a complete (actually mine has a ton of extra pieces) Dino Riders Colorforms set. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I’m still on a Dino Riders kick so bare with me if any of you are getting tired of seeing these toys as I’m not quite tired of bringing them to Doom Kick. I’ve covered a variety of the beasts, from large to small, from winged to legged, and from scaley to furry. The last wave of Dino Riders from Tyco had four mammals spun off into a sub-line called Dino Riders Ice Age. I’ve already looked at the Mammoth and even shown him off in the snow but I haven’t brought anymore of the Ice Age toys to Doom Kick until now. Ladies and Gentlemen, for your viewing pleasure, let’s take a look at the Sabre Tooth Tiger. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
